Daming: From the end of Hongwu

Cao Li?

Zhen Wu was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood who it was.

Cao Xiaoman's daughter-in-law and Li Erniu's daughter.

Speaking of Cao Xiaoman's father, Cao Yang, when Zhen Wu first entered the camp, he was still confronting Li Erniu with needlepoints, and no one would let the other go. Unexpectedly...

It can only be said that things are unpredictable.

And in the blink of an eye, Cao Xiaoman also changed from a child to a father.

Zhen Wu thought for a while, Cao Xiaoman is different from other subordinates, he is someone who needs to be used by his side, and he is by his side day and night, responsible for his safety, he really should pay attention to one or two things.

"In this way, you pick two of the rare items given by the palace. They don't need to be too expensive, and you put a longevity lock on the child. These estimates are almost the same. Don't let others think that we are partial, and we need to express what we value. Xinyi, if you have time at that time, you can also go to his house to show up."

Zhu Yuying listened to Zhen Wu's words and nodded her head, but at the end, she asked suspiciously: "When his house is celebrating the full moon, why don't you go to his house?"

Zhen Wu smiled wryly: "Don't talk about me, Cao Xiaoman has to miss it too."

Zhu Yuying froze in Zhen Wu's arms.

Zhen Wu sighed, and continued, "I'm leaving early tomorrow morning."

As he spoke, he hugged Zhu Yuying tightly, and pulled all the soft people into his arms, trying to comfort Zhu Yuying: "I didn't tell my family that after tomorrow, you still need to tell them .”

After Zhu Yuying was shocked, the little face buried in Zhen Wu's arms immediately shed tears of reluctance, but she knew that she had to be strong and could not hold Zhen Wu back. She wiped Zhen Wu's underwear, raised her head heavily kissed Zhen Wu's lips, and then hugged Zhen Wu with all his strength.

Feeling pity in Zhen Wu's heart, he turned over and pressed Zhu Yuying under him.

This night, they didn't eat anything, they rested early, and kept warm for a long time.

As the sun rose again, Zhen Wu didn't know when he got up. With the help of Jin'er and others, he dressed up and went straight to the barracks. Then he ordered Zhang Wu and Xue Lu, and brought more than 2000 horsemen The army galloped all the way, entered the grassland from Gubeikou, and headed towards the tribes stationed in Duoyanwei and other places.

And after Zhu Di's army in the city was completed, he once again went to Yongping Mansion (now Qinhuangdao) in a mighty way.

Standing on the top of the wall, Zhu Gaochi watched the army walk away. His fat body seemed to contain infinite power. He walked down the top of the wall firmly step by step, and summoned Dao Yan, Guo Zi, Gu Cheng and others to discuss how to deal with it. During this time, make sure that Beiping City is safe.

There are more than 1 defenders in the city, plus the latest recruits.

And more than 1 people are like an empty city in front of Li Jinglong's 50 troops.

If they want to hold on for as long as possible, they must make a lot of preparations in advance.

Following the end of the discussion between Zhu Gaochi and others, the entire Beiping City was in motion for a while, and various strategic materials began to be transported into Beiping City from outside.

The third child, Zhu Gaosui, was left in Beiping City by Zhu Di this time. In the past, he followed Zhu Di, Zhen Wu and Zhu Gaoxu, and he rarely had such a stressful moment. At this time, he suddenly felt a huge pressure, and he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy in his eyes.

Zhu Gaochi patted him on the shoulder and said in relief, "Big brother is here, don't be afraid."

Zhu Gaosui glanced sideways at the fat Zhu Gaochi, and suddenly felt that the boss, who had always been temperless and not mighty, was exceptionally able to handle things.

And at this time, the Zhen residence.

Xiao Liuyi has slept so late, she got up and finished her meal without any haste, and then excitedly ran to Zhu Yuying to show her presence. She planned to bother her sister-in-law so that her elder brother would take the initiative to come and talk to her after he found out. speak softly.

Unexpectedly, just after she arrived, she heard the news that Zhen Wu had left early in the morning.

Xiao Liu couldn't control his emotions for a while, so he burst into tears.

While crying, he swallowed more: "I haven't talked to my brother yet, I just gambled for a while, why did my brother get so angry and leave without telling me, I actually miss my brother very much, I have saved a lot There are so many things I want to say to him.”

The appearance of Xiaoliu Lihua with rain is very reminiscent of when she was a child.

……

Chapter 269 - The Three Guards of Duoyan Enter the Arena

As time passed, October arrived as scheduled.

The cold wind also began to no longer only patronize the Northland area, and gradually spread to Nanjing City in an orderly manner.

On this day, Huang Zicheng got the military report from the front line and jumped up excitedly. He put on his coat and braved the cold wind and headed towards Fengtian Temple.

There was scorching heat in his heart, even if the cold wind hit his face, he didn't feel the cold. Instead, he thought a little narcissistically, he was so unafraid of cold and heat, could he be a model of loyal ministers?

The more he thought about it, the more he deliberately raised his head against the cold wind, the colder his face was hit by the cold wind, the more moved he was.

He even hilariously simulated in his mind a picture of loyal ministers proudly serving the country in the cold wind.

How disgusting how disgusting.

When he saw Zhu Yunqi, he deliberately showed his frozen red hands, and handed the military report to Zhu Yunqi.

It's a pity that Zhu Yunqi didn't pay attention to this love, even if Huang Zicheng pretended to cough twice, Zhu Yunqi turned a blind eye to it.

Because Zhu Yunqi was burning with anger at the moment, he had no time to think about other things.

This anger came from the news that he had just learned that Wu Gao, Marquis of Jiangyin in Liaodong, had secretly communicated with Zhu Di.

Zhu Yunwen roared angrily in his heart.

Another person who secretly informed Zhu Di!

How many lords and military generals in this court have two hearts? !

Zhu Yunwen asked himself, but he didn't know.

But Zhu Yunqi has been deeply guarded and afraid of this.

He is like an inferiority complex paranoid patient, suspicious of everyone who might look down on him. This kind of psychology stems from all the things he has experienced since he was a child. Before he succeeded to the throne, he clearly learned from many people. Feeling malice and disdain.

Son?Bastard?

Regardless of these for now.

But he clearly knew that none of his military personnel would support his background, so he hated military personnel.

Therefore, he firmly believed in everyone who might have secretly contacted Zhu Di.

"Your Majesty, there is a military report from the front." Huang Zicheng reminded Zhu Yunqi.

Zhu Yunqi came back to his senses, but he was not in a hurry to read the military newspaper immediately, instead he said coldly to Qi Tai who was beside him: "Jiangyin Marquis Wu Gao secretly communicated to Zhu Di, and sent an order to cut his title, move his family and Guangxi, and in addition Let Governor Yang Wen supervise Liaodong affairs and strictly guard Liaodong."

Qi Tai sensed Zhu Yunqi's hatred, and originally wanted to ask if he would check it out in detail, but now he didn't dare to say more, and then he accepted the order honestly and bowed down.

After all, in wartime, it is not wrong to cut the mess quickly.

At this time Zhu Yunqi took a few deep breaths, and when he calmed down a bit, he didn't think about reading the military newspaper. He opened the military newspaper and looked down twice, but these two glances made Zhu Yunqi stand up excitedly.

He blushed and said: "That's great, Mr. Cao Guo really lived up to my high expectations, he really lived up to my high expectations."

As Zhu Yunwen said, he looked at the military newspaper word by word. The content in it was like the beautiful scenery in the sky, so Zhu Yunqi couldn't bear to look away.

Huang Zicheng echoed with a smile: "Duke Cao's troops are heading in a direction that is as powerful as a broken bamboo. Now that Zhuozhou has been conquered, it only needs to be rectified a little, and they can go straight to Peiping."

To Zhu Yunqi, this news was like ice brew in midsummer. It not only wiped out the anger caused by Jiangyin Hou Wu Gao's incident, but also made Zhu Yunqi happy immediately.

These days, Zhu Di has long been a heart problem for him. Now that he has made great progress, how can Zhu Yunqi's excitement be controlled.

He calculated the time in his mind, and it hasn't been long since Li Jinglong traveled to Dezhou, and his expression suddenly cheered up: "Cao Guogong is worthy of being the son of King Qiyang. , presumably in a few days, I will be able to become a class teacher, and then I will definitely make a lot of fun and put on a show to welcome Cao Guogong in person."

Huang Zicheng echoed Zhu Yunwen with a smile.

Zhu Yunwen was in a good mood, and he couldn't help thinking of the scene where Huang Zicheng supported Li Jinglong at that time, and said with a smile: "Mr. Huang is really a minister of my humerus. If you hadn't supported Cao Guogong back then, I would have been hesitant about Cao Guogong."

When Huang Zicheng heard this, he was in a good mood for a while: "Your Majesty, I am ashamed to be a minister. In the final analysis, Cao Guogong lived up to the spirit and lived up to His Majesty's great trust."

Zhu Yunwen nodded with a smile, looking at Huang Zicheng, he couldn't help thinking that he was lucky, with such a capable minister, why worry about the Ming Dynasty being in trouble.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yunqi suddenly became in a mood and wanted to go out for a walk.

So, he took Huang Zicheng and walked outside.

It was a bit chilly outside. Zhu Yunwen, who had just come outside, was immediately cleared by the chill. He looked at the beautiful rivers and mountains, and then at the palace, which was as deep as the sea.

Inexplicably, Zhu Yunwen thought of how terrified Zhu Di would look when he asked Zhu Di why he turned against him after he was kidnapped and sent to the palace.

It must be interesting.

Zhu Yunxuan pointed at the sky and the earth, and suddenly said to Huang Zicheng: "Look at the winter coming, it's fierce and urgent, it reminds me of the winter nine years ago, it was so aggressive, when I was on the porch Seeing the fourth uncle hurriedly come to see the great grandfather, hehe, the fourth uncle was young at that time, he was really majestic, not angry but mighty, it's just a pity, a pity."

Unfortunately what goes without saying.

Huang Zicheng didn't say much knowingly, but began to ponder in his heart.

nine years ago?

Isn't that the 23rd year of Hongwu?

That year seemed to be the first time that King Yan took command of the Northern Expedition, and surrendered Beiyuan Naier, Buhua and others. If it was really that time, King Yan would not be majestic.

Just not angry, how did His Majesty feel?

Could it be that something else happened at that time?

……

In Beiping City, in Yanwang's mansion, Zhu Gaochi looked at Li Rang's dusty appearance, and stood up in shock: "What, Zhuozhou guard Li Sicheng died while fighting?!"

Li Rang said with tears in his voice: "Not only General Li, but the 2000 soldiers in the city, except myself and [-] people who rushed out, all the others died in the battle in Zhuozhou City."

Zhu Gaochi was surprised again, how could Li Jinglong's troops be so strong that Zhuozhou Jiancheng had only defended for a few days.

He sat down on the chair, and the chair creaked as if it couldn't bear the weight.

Seeing this, Monk Daoyan took the initiative to take over the inquiry.

"I don't know Li Junma, can you tell the poor monk about the situation of the battle in Zhuozhou City in detail? This may help us to prepare for Li Jinglong's army in the future."

"Nature knows everything."

Li Rang nodded, and then began to speak in detail.

After Li Rang finished his narration, Monk Daoyan clasped his hands together, and after reciting a Buddhist saying, he said: "Li Junma spoke in detail, the son is currently in a state of confusion, and Li Junma is rushing all the way, why don't you go down and rest first, wait If there is anything that needs to be discussed at night, how about we discuss it later?"

Li Rang looked at Zhu Gaochi, and seeing that Zhu Gaochi was really restless, he nodded.

It's just that when he was about to retreat, Dao Yan suddenly said again: "Now that the city of Zhuozhou is broken, only Beiping is left. We have no way to retreat. I hope Li Junma will regain his mentality and help the prince defend the city with all his might." .”

Li Rang froze, then smiled and said, "It's natural."

After finishing speaking, Li Rang didn't wait any longer, and slowly retreated.

After Li Rang went down, Zhu Gaochi immediately recovered his clear state. He looked at Dao Yan, frowned and said: "There is no flaw in the words, but Li Si can't rush out even a general, but Li Rang rushed with his soldiers. Come out, this is somewhat weird."

"Whether there is something weird or not, there is no need to talk about things without evidence. Now that we are employing people, we should gather all available people. If we just have some doubts, we will make a big fuss and mess ourselves up. It is better to make more arrangements in the future. Let it not be bad." Dao Yan said.

Zhu Gaochi nodded, but then thought for a while and said: "Actually, I'm not afraid that he is timid and fearful. I was afraid to withdraw from Zhuozhou City ahead of time. I was afraid that Li Si would be killed by him during the battle. Master may not know Li Si. But I do know that my brother-in-law Zhen Wu has praised him many times, and I think he is extraordinary."

"Oh?"

Dao Yan asked: "Then what do you want?"

Zhu Gaochi said with certainty in his eyes: "When the time comes, force him to go to the city for a bloody battle and try his luck."

"That's fine too."

In the room, Zhu Gaochi and Dao Yan were discussing things one by one, while scattered snowflakes were falling in the grassland on the north ground. Zhen Wu and his party finally came to Duoyanwei under the snowy weather.

Zhen Wu was in a hurry all the way, only thinking about finishing his errands as soon as possible, and going to Daning to join the army with Zhu Di. After all, Li Jinglong's army was on his back, so he had to buy all the time.

So he didn't know much about the battle in Zhuozhou City.

Not only did he not know that he hadn't changed history, but Li Jinglong was still pointing at Beiping City, and he didn't know that one of the people he valued had already died in the battle of Jingnan.

At this moment, Zhen Wu only had Duo Yanwei in his eyes.

Duoyanwei people call themselves Wuliangha people, Zhen Wu chose this place as the first stop, firstly because he has the closest relationship with Tuluhuchaer, and secondly, since Azashili was wiped out, Duoyanwei was supported by Zhu Di , the strength has expanded rapidly, and has surpassed Tainingwei to become the talker among the three guards.

Zhen Wu reined in the horse, his eyes staring like falcons. Because of their appearance, Duo Yanwei quickly put himself on guard, and he didn't care about the cracked corners of his mouth and the small snow particles that hit his face like sand. care.

It seemed that he had already adapted to the weather.

And the two thousand soldiers he brought with him here were all silent and motionless, the appearance of an iron army was self-evident.

Tulu Huchaer quickly greeted the people sent by Zhen Wu to report.

From a distance, Tulu Huchaer shouted: "Oh, Brother Zhen, why did you come all the way to my place? If there is anything you need, just send someone to say no. My brother will definitely take care of it for you." .”

Tulu Huchaer is now the head of the Wuliangha tribe. He met Zhen Wu in Baicheng in the early years. Later, in the 24th year of Hongwu, when Zhen Wu and the others conquered Azashili in Tainingwei, they cooperated. Therefore, these years After coming down, they have been in constant contact, and the two of them can be said to be quite familiar with each other.

Zhen Wu greeted him with a smile, snorted coldly and said: "What? Come to see my brother, do I need to report to you?"

"How could it be possible? I'm glad you came and it's too late. Let's talk inside." Tulu Huchaer said with a smile, inviting Zhen Wu.

Zhen Wu turned around and pointed to his soldiers: "My brothers are rushing along with me, you prepare some food and grass, and send a few sheep to entertain you, and I will give you a big surprise later."
